Mike Tomlin: Steelers didn’t do anything ‘cutting edge’ during the bye
You shouldn’t anticipate anything radically different from what you’re used to when you watch Sunday’s Pittsburgh Steelers vs.
Los Angeles Rams game.
When making adjustments to the game plans in response to the team’s pre-bye performance, Mike Tomlin acknowledged that he and his staff didn’t do anything ground-breaking or inventive.
Tomlin said at his weekly Tuesday press conference, “Rest assured that every team in the National Football League delves into self-analysis during bye weeks, and they come through and look critically at every component of what it is that they do — whether it’s strategy or schematics, the division of labor or the development of individual players.”.
“In that sense, we didn’t do anything revolutionary or special.
You may be confident that we did our research.
“.
Mike Tomlin: “You can be confident that, during the week off, every NFL team conducts a self-evaluation.”.
****.
During the 20-minute press conference, Tomlin stated five times that it didn’t “behoove” him to go into specifics about the changes that had been made.
All we can do is wait and see how their efforts turn out.
He is aware of the general perception of the Steelers regarding their lack of success in almost all facets of the game.
Instead of speaking with the media, he has opted to respond by demonstrating it on the field.
We acknowledge that, due to our performance, we have taken in some negative energy.
We’re manly enough to take in that negativity and maintain our laser-like focus on the work that needs to be done to make a change.
We just want to get better, and we’re going to keep doing that.
We don’t want to place blame or offer explanations.
There’s a chance to demonstrate progress in that area this Sunday.
“.
This week, Joey Porter Jr. should be different, right? and Broderick Jones as first-team regulars at their respective positions, increased involvement from tight ends, and a winning team.
It’s anyone’s guess whether that will actually occur.
